This is the second time I've worked with Sandy. I chose him again because he is kind, responsive, creative, talented and very professional. Sandy produced a logo for our soccer team and we’re thrilled with it. Beyond expectations. Thanks again, Sandy! – AD
I found Sandy extremely easy to work with. I chose him because he had created logos for companies that were in my target audience. He was qualified, knowledgeable and flexible in his approach to my needs. Sandy was in regular contact with me during every step of the logo design process and was open to my ideas for all aspects of the project. I very much appreciated Sandy's low key, professional approach and would recommend his services to my colleagues. – JM
I have been working with Sandy for about 6 years. He has designed and created a wide variety of content for our company. He always takes my initial ideas and responds with what I was envisioning - but better! I would 100% recommend Sandy's graphic design services. – JR
QnA.
Why hire a pro?
Do it once, do it right. A professional designer will create a logo that works across multiple platforms: print, web, social media, large format, etc. A pro will understand colour theory, the difference between CMYK and RGB, leading and kerning, bitmap vs. vector files, and all the elements that will make your brand stand out.
What makes a great logo?
Logos are usually comprised of typography, graphics, and colour schemes. These are visual design elements, and their quality is essential to the success of your brand. I combine extensive brand research with logo design principles to optimize these elements. A great logo is the perfect tool for attracting an audience and making a lasting impression. Your logo should be designed to stand out from similar brands. It’s your “voice”, so it should say “hey, this is who I am”. Your logo should also be sticky. Something memorable will make a subconscious impact on your customers, affecting their buying decisions and overall feelings toward your brand. A great logo is versatile. This means the design should hold up in all digital and physical medium. It should be suitable for mobile and web, for digital and print, for every scale and shape. A lot goes into a great logo design. I’ll walk you through step by step, so you get exactly what you need.
How long does it take?
This depends on the package you choose. Many of the most impactful and successful logos in history appear surprisingly simple. While a simple logo mark or typeface may seem quick and easy to come up with, if done well, there's often a lot more to it than meets the eye. A Standard Package may only take a couple of weeks, whereas a Premium Package will likely take a month or longer. There’s a lot of back and forth, tweaking and refining, so you also play a role in how the project moves along. Your logo is a big deal. We’ll take the time needed to get it right.
What is the cost and how do you pay?
I have set rates for each package (not including tax): • The Standard Package is $600 • The Deluxe Package is $1200 • The Premium Package is $1800 If you want additional work beyond what is included in each package, I’m always happy to provide a quote. Most clients pay via etransfer. I also accept payment by cheque.
Do you own everything at the end?
Yes, it’s all yours. There are no back-end royalties or sneaky fees. I hand the files over to you. I also archive them in case you misplace them, or you need additional work in the future.
